...Humphrey-Kennedy ticket would have a certain irony. Humphrey Biographer Winthrop Griffith recalls a scene at the Los Angeles convention when John Kennedy was on the brink of victory. Bobby, a finger thrust at Hubert's chest, demanded the immediate delivery of Minnesota's delegates, "or else." Humphrey poked back and said: "Bobby, go to hell...
...appear to be a pair of rare flukes-a leak in a secondary fuel line and crossed cut-off signal wires that shut down the wrong rocket engine. The Russians have no moon rocket to compare with the Saturn 5, which is capable of 7,500,000 Ibs. of thrust. NASA Administrator James Webb believes they will soon test a moon booster with a 10,000,000-lb. thrust capacity. With the first manned Apollo orbit scheduled for August and a Saturn 5-powered orbital mission tentatively set for November, NASA estimates that the U.S. still has a half-year...
...dreams of attaining King-like status: "You can't plot your rise in a movement. There are lots of leaders who can arouse the people with their words. Most of the great ones arose from nowhere--they had prominence thrust upon them. It's all a matter of being in the right place at the right time." For the present, he has no intentions of leaving Roxbury to seek that right place...
...thrust and counterthrust took place at one of a series of group-therapy sessions designed to promote understanding between Houston's police and Negroes. The six-week programs have been going on since last September. On each of six consecutive Fri days, as many as 200 policemen, divided into groups of 12 to 15, meet with equal numbers of citizens-both black and white-to thrash out differences. The fourth batch is now attending the three-hour sessions, each of which is guided by a trained psychologist...
After igniting successfully, two of the five second-stage J-2 engines inexplicably shut down nearly 2½ minutes early, reducing thrust by 400,000 lbs Although Saturn's sophisticated guidance-and- control system automatically ordered the remaining three engines to fire longer, the rocket had not achieved its programmed velocity by the time the third stage was ready to take over. Thus to achieve orbital velocity of 17,500 m.p.h., the third stage was required to fire 23 seconds longer than planned, consuming 20,000 extra pounds of fuel...
